AvizuraNG's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dreameater - Boss Fight]

Very cool. Though I felt that some sections might have been a bit too calm for a bossbattle (the part with the piano). But .. it creates a nice contrast between the other parts.

In terms of musicalness (?) and sound-design, you get a 5/5 imo.

Mixing wise I'd say that it sounds a bit too uneasy/restless/tiring, maybe because of the heavy compression. The track is a bit too long for heavy compression and I think you should give the listener a bit of a rest after a minute or so or maybe just lower the overall compression.

But, certainly not a bad track. I enjoyed listening to it!

[PlayKncino - Tired of Living]

What a depression title..
I liked the track, but it sounds a bit messy, few clashing frequencies. I would suggest spreading out the elements in your track a bit more (pitch wise, maybe bring some stuff an octave down or up, use a different inversion of the chord, it sounds like everything is playing in the same frequency range). It also sounds a bit like it's clipping (especially in the breakdown with the piano).

The rest is pretty great! I like the vibe of the track, it lives up to it's title. Personally I would have written a bit more of chilled-out DnB track for a theme like this. But it worked well nonetheless imo!

PS: If you're really tired of living, hang in there, it might get better =)

[Overwatch Mei Impression]

That was very convincing. I mean, I only know Overwatch because one of my friends plays it sometimes, but based on what I have heard, it sounds pretty good!

[Robotic Dancer]

I'm not that much into Dubstep or Electro (not the modern kind), but imo it does sound very tight, production-wise.
Personally I would easy up a bit on the crazy filter effects (around 1:39 etc.). They sound a bit cheap and uninspired imo.

I also think that for a 2:52 track, it would have benefitted from having a breakdown.

Still, pretty cool track!

[TiGeR - Altocumulus]

One of my favorite songs on Newgrounds. Seriously, so sad to see that you aren't making more stuff, but I understand that life can get in the way. I also miss talking to ya about music n' stuff.

Honestly, I want to say how mind-blown I was when you sent me the Reason file to this, my computer could barely handle the project lol!

This piece will become only more and more nostalgic as the years pass. A true masterpiece in my opinion.

I'm in love with those pad sounds, they are truly out of this world. And then the drums slowly fade in. When the bassline hits, it just gives me this rush. Like I'm going 10 000 km/hour, like you said.
And that second melody just sticks with you, it has that very melancholic feel to it.
Also the basslines you write are so smooth and well put together. The way you end the piece, with the sudden piano part, it just leaves this impression behind .. idk how to describe it. It's really out of this world.

[Laser Tag]

Nice track. The track definitely lives up to it's name. Maybe the laser sounds are a bit too much after a while, it would be good to change them up a bit imo. I also think that the track would have benefitted from a breakdown section or something that changes up the track, especially when it's a track that is almost 4 minutes long.

Still, it's a good, catchy and professional-sounding track and I enjoyed it a lot.

[We The Hero - Fall Of The Gods]

Pretty damn epic. I like the theme, it's as if the song is telling a story.
Interesting combination of styles, I like it. The bitcrushing effect at the end really hammers home the "Fall of the gods" part.

Good work

[Dreameater - S u p e r S i m s 6 4]

That's certainly "lo-fi", sounds like it was recorded on a type 1 cassette tape at high speed and then slowed down. Pretty cool effect!

And lol, idk what the random SM64 voiceclips are doing in a song like this, hahaha. But it's quite charming and funny.

This was very pleasent, especially the piano. It reminded me a lot of the water levels in SM64. Very dreamy.

DreamEater responds:

Thank you so much for listening bradda! I really wanted to take a swing at this lofi thing that everyone is doing rn.

Idk the clips were just to solidify the theme I was going for, it makes a lot more sense along side the visual accompaniment. Thanks again, you rock old friend!

[DuckTales - The Moon Remix]

It upsets me a bit that this isn't more popular. This is truly the best cover of the moon level theme I've heard, I think it's even better than the remastered version from 2013.
